CHARLES BOOTH CENTRE REGISTERED CHARITY NO. 1166944
INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF THE CHARITY’S ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022
SCOTT BROWNLOW, ACMA JANUARY 2023
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of the Charles Booth Centre (Registered Charity Number 1166944)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charles Booth Centre (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records.
As part of the independent examination I have made recommendations to the Trust how I feel financial systems and procedures can be improved in order to improve internal control systems and procedures. These issues are not of such significance to require me to qualify the accounts, nor do these needs to be specifically brought to the attention of the Charity Commission in any detailed way. The recommendations made by this independent examination will be formally reported to the Trustees for consideration for implementation.
Otherwise, I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
